Can anyone explain the basis for the sort by "Popularity" in the Koha OPAC? Is it based on checkout frequency? # of copies owned? User ratings? ...? Thanks!

Lynda, I'm pretty sure it is based on cicrculation or all the items on the record combined.

Hal, Thanks, that's helpful. We don't circulate any of our materials, and we don't have multiple items on anything (since everything's electronic), so I think I'm just going to remove the sort option altogether. Lynda.

Lynda, Hal is correct, but actually sorting by popularity has never quite worked before. I am currently working on fixing this. Regards, Jared On Jun 4, 2012 12:10 PM, "Howell, Lynda" <Lynda.Howell@myunion.edu> wrote:
